Enter Field Settings
Use the down key Select “Set Param” press “OK” to enter
Enter Field Settings
To change settings press “ok” and use directional <> to navigateUse Up and Down to Increase and Decrease value.Press “ok” When desired changes are made.
T = Primary Off Timer (Pump rest time between doses). Ta = Elapsed time for cycle currently in progress. Not programmable
NOTE01:55h = HH:MM01:55m = MM:SS01:55s = SS:1/10s
Enter Field Settings
Primary off time varies for each drip site. Please check the design provided.
Off Time
To change settings press “ok” and use directional <> to navigateUse Up and Down to Increase and Decrease value.Press “ok” When desired changes are made.
T = Primary On Timer (Pump run time or Dose Time)Ta = Elapsed time for cycle currently in progress. Not programmable.
Enter Field Settings
Primary On time varies for each drip site. Please check the design provided.
NOTE01:55h = HH:MM01:55m = MM:SS01:55s = SS:1/10s
On Time
To change settings press “ok” and use directional < > to navigate Use Up and Down to Increase and Decrease value.Press “ok” When desired changes are made.
T = Secondary/ Override Off Timer (Rest Time between Dose’s when 3rd float is up and timer is in override mode)
Ta = Elapsed time for cycle currently in progress. Not programmable
Enter Field Settings
NOTE01:55h = HH:MM01:55m = MM:SS01:55s = SS:1/10s
Secondary Off time varies for each site. Usually half of Primary Rest Time
